Title: Improvements in Hose Suspenders for Corsets or other Garments.
IPC: A41F11/14
Filed: 1911-05-10
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 11,301. Pretty & Sons, W., and Pretty, L. E. May 10. Corsets &c.-Two, three, or more stocking suspenders f are attached to the corset &c. by a single elastic or other band a and runner loops c<1> through which the band is threaded. The band is attached to the corset at its ends only, and the loops carrying the suspender are loose on the band, the intervening loop (or loops, when three or more suspenders are employed) being attached to the corset directly, as in Fig. 4, or to loose hanging strips d, Fig. 1, integral with the corset, or to tabs adapted to be sewn some distance up the corset. The arrangement is intended to adapt itself readily to varying positions or movements of the wearer, while maintaining a more even tension on the hose. The loops may be of elongated, flattened, semicircular, oval, or semi-oval form, the last-mentioned being shown in Fig. 4.

Title: A Machine for Demonstrating on Centrifugal Force.
Inventor: LILLY WALTER ELSWORTHY
IPC: G09B23/10
Filed: 1911-09-04
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 19,597. Lilly, W. E. Sept. 4. Teaching mechanics.-An apparatus for demonstrating centrifugal force comprises a spring which can be stressed to any desired tension, and means for rotating, at various distances from a centre, an adjustable weight so connected with the spring that the centrifugal force may be arranged to balance the set stress in the spring. A bar e, which is adapted to be rotatect through a pulley b, supports, by means of forked bars g, h, a bar f connected to one end of the spring i, and a block k, which carries the spring i and a wing-nut l and screw j for the purpose of adjusting the stress in the spring. On the bars e, f are movable sliders q with weights which can be placed at any position on the bars. The movement of the bar f in each direction is limited by pins m, n, adapted to engage a vertical pillar o, and the bar g is prolonged to form a needle or pointer r. The apparatus is used in the following manner. The needle r is held vertical and the spring i screwed up by the wing-nut l to some desired pull registered on a scale p. On releasing the needle the spring pulls the bar f over until the stop-pin n contacts with the pillar o. The device is then set in rotation by turning the handle of a second pulley connected by a belt to the pulley b, and the speed increased until the centrifugal force causes the needle r to assume the vertical position. The machine is then kept in uniform rotation, the number of revolutions in a given time are counted; the pull on the spring being known, a direct measure of the centrifugal force is thus obtained. By varying the weights, the positions of the sliders q, and the pulls at different speeds of rotation, the laws underlying centrifugal force can be experimentally demonstrated.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cutting and Slicing Machines of the class used for Viands, Cheese, Bread and the like.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B26D1/15

Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 28,083. Boult, A. J., [Kustner FrÞres]. Dec. 13. Cutting slices in succession. - In slicing- machines for bread, meat, &c., the supports for the material comprise rotary heads capable of being turned about a vertical axis into any one of several positions, so that a series of materials can be supported and sliced in turn. A machine is shown having four slicing positions. The materials are fixed to holders m, n mounted on stems adjustable in radial grooves or on radial projections on the rotary plate g. Jaws o pivoted to levers q on the underside of the plate are adjusted in the radial slots r until they abut against the sides of the material to prevent it from moving laterally, and are ihen clamped in position by wing nuts s. The plate g rotates on a stem h and may be locked in position, when any one of the materials faces the rotary knife x, by a catch e mounted on a hand-lever and engaging recesses in the plate. The stem h is carried by the usual sliding member a<2> which is advanced by a feed motion b. The unlocking movement of the hand-lever also disconnects the feed motion, so that, when the plate has been rotated to bring the desired material facing the knife, the member a<2> may be advanced rapidly by a second hand-lever until the material touches the knife. The plate is then locked and the feed motion re-engaged so that any desired number of slices may be removed. During the slicing operation, the rotary table is guided by a fixed block u.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making up Hanks of Twine in the form of Rands.
Inventor: WALKER ROBERT CUMMING
IPC: B65H54/56
Filed: 1911-12-22
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 28,917. Walker, R. C. Dec. 22. Hanks, treating; machines for serving. - A machine for making up hanks of twine in the form of " rands " for sale purposes comprises means for rotating the hank 4, Fig. 1, and a saddle 10, traversed by a screw 9, for carrying the wrapping-thread to be wound around the hank. The hank 4 is doubled around hooks 5, 6 rotatably supported in fixed and movable heads 2, 3, the distance between which is adjustable for different lengths of hanks. The hooks and screw 9 are geared together by changewheels 19. The hook 5 slides in the head 2 and is connected to a lever 21, which is held forward by a catch 20 when the hank is being put on or taken off the hooks, but is normally tensioned by a weighted rope 22. The spool 12 and tension apparatus 11 for the wrapping- thread are carried by the saddle 10, which is engageable with the screw 9 by means of a halfnut 23, Fig. 4, movable by a screwed spindle 24 and handle 15. A pawl 27 co-operating with a spring-controlled notched member 26 holds the half-nut engaged with the screw 9. The end of the wrapping-thread is fastened around the hank, and the machine set in motion by a pedal which moves the driving-belt from a loose pulley 8 on to a fast pulley 7. When a sufficient amount of thread has been wound on the hank, the machine is stopped automatically by the tripping of the pawl 27 at a predetermined point by a cam 33, the member 26 being thus allowed tn rotate so as to withdraw the haltnut from the screw 9. An arm 13 on the spindle 24 strikes a bolt 31, which in turn actuates a lever 32 and thus lifts a rod 14 free of its catch, allowing the rod to slide towards the left under the weight of the pedal and rod 17 and move the driving-belt from the fast to the loose pulley. The block 32<a> carrying the lever 32 and rod-catch is adjustable along the bed of the machine.
